美国空军飞行员和对照组参与了五项实验,每项实验都评估了不同类型的视觉空间能力。虽然飞行员判断度量空间关系比nonpilots,他们没有判断分类空间关系比nonpilots。飞行员在心理上旋转物体的能力比非飞行员强,但飞行员在推断运动、扫描图像或从被视觉噪声遮挡的物体中提取视觉特征方面的能力并不比非飞行员强。结果表明,有效地使用特定的处理子系统是特别重要的,和特点,飞行员。增强的能力和他们对变化的敏感性可能的神经心理学基础进行了讨论
U.S. Air Force pilots and control subjects participated in five experiments, each of which assessed a different type of visual–spatial ability. Although pilots judged metric spatial relations better than did nonpilots, they did not judge categorical spatial relations better than did nonpilots. Pilots mentally rotated objects better than did nonpilots, but pilots did not extrapolate motion, scan images, or extract visual features from objects obscured by visual noise better than did nonpilots. The results imply that efficient use of specific processing subsystems is especially important for, and characteristic of, pilots. The possible neuropsychological bases for the enhanced abilities and their susceptibility to change are discussed
